Hello DHS team,
I am trying to approximate cluster-level weights from individual weights for 2015-16 Indian DHS (NFHS-4). While replicating the code in "Multilevel Modelling Using DHS Surveys...:Methodological Report 27" for India, I could not find the distribution of EAs and their average size in number of households by strata in the NFHS-4 final report.
I would be very grateful if anyone could help me in this regard.
Regards,

Unfortunately, the NFHS-4 guidance does not directly correspond with NFHS-5; NFHS-5 was collected using 707 districts, as compared to the 640 in NFHS-4, thus including more districts than were used in the 2011 India Census. The multilevel weight calculations require the total number of census clusters in a given strata, the average number of households per cluster by sampling strata, and the total number of households according to the census frame. The NFHS-5 (India 2019-21) final report on the DHS website right now doesn't seem to contain appendices, so I can't tell if any of this information is provided therein.
Do you have any recommendations for how to get this information and calculate these weights for NFHS-5?

Hello,
I am wondering if there is an update re: calculating cluster level weights for NFHS-5? The 'EA average size_Urban' excel file uploaded to the Github repository for the NFHS-4 cannot be used for NFHS-5 as the number of districts are different. Volume 2 of the NFHS-5 final report has tables on sample design and error but doesn't contain the information for individual strata as required by the MR27 method and usually included in Final Reports. Can you advise on a method to compute the total number of census clusters in a given strata, the average number of households per cluster by sampling strata, and the total number of households according to the census frame?
Best,
Hannah
